Along66, Nov. 2022: Old Chain of Rocks Bridge and Ramona Lehman

I get these posts from the Route 66 News blog site.   If you want to know what is going on along our favorite road, this is where you want to go.  There is a new post most every day.  I just pick out the ones where I have the most interest.  

The site gives more information and has pictures and videos.  Plus, I am usually a month or more behind as you can see.

NOVEMBER 1

Groundbreaking was held for improvements to the Missouri side of the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge near St. Louis.

This is being run by the Great Rivers Greenway.  They will also install restrooms, drinking fountains, local artwork and a pavilion.

Probably the biggest thing is increased security.  All kinds of damage was done to vehicles when their owners left them to walk the bridge.

NOVEMBER 9

Munger Moss Motel (in Lebanon, Missouri) owner Ramona Lehman received the Lebanon Community Achievement Award during the 21st annual Wall of Honor banquet.  She and her late husband Bob have owned the vintage motel for over fifty years.

A well-deserved honor.  

Ramona is truly the Spirit of Route 66.
